Description

Disodium 1-(1,3-Dimethylbutyl) 2-Sulphonatosuccinate is a high-purity, specialty anionic surfactant derived from succinic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties in demanding formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing industries for creating high-performance, low-irritation products. Its unique branched alkyl chain structure provides enhanced solubility and stability in various chemical environments.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary or co-surfactant in mild facial cleansers, shower gels, shampoos, and shaving foams due to its low skin irritation potential.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Used in formulations for hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and vehicle wash systems for superior wetting and soil suspension.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a wetting agent and dispersant in dyeing and printing processes to ensure even color distribution and penetration.
• Agricultural Formulations: Serves as an adjuvant in pesticide and herbicide sprays to improve spreading and adhesion on plant surfaces.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Functions as a stabilizer and emulsifier in the production of synthetic latexes, such as acrylics and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR).
• Oilfield Chemicals: Utilized in drilling muds and enhanced oil recovery formulations for its dispersing and interfacial tension-reducing capabilities.

Quality Control

Our Disodium 1-(1,3-Dimethylbutyl) 2-Sulphonatosuccinate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by titration and impurity profile analysis, to ensure it meets precise specifications for active matter content, pH, and moisture. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and key physical parameters are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency for your formulation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or performance degradation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
